This is the translation of the Memorial (Yizkor) Book of Jewish
community of Drohichin, Belarus. This history of
Drohitchin/Drahichyn --in Belarus -- covers the nearly 500-year old
Jewish community that had almost 5,000 Jewish residents at the
start of World War II. This book is both history and memoir, and it
includes poetry, tributes, and many photos. Also contained is a
necrology of the Shoah victims from Drohitchin and nearby towns
murdered in the two Drohitchin massacres ( July 25 and October 15,
1942). Former Drohitchin residents and descendants contributed
first-hand accounts to this book so that future generations could
learn about the long history of this once vibrant Jewish community.

that no longer exists. Drohitchin is located 40 miles W of Pinsk,
